nudity

There is occasional sexual banter throughout the series.
Episode 1: While doing bunk checks, the commanding officer finds what appears to be pornographic magazines.
Episode 8: We see very brief male rear nudity and side nudity when soldiers are shown showering in a temporary facility.
Episode 9: An intense three-minute scene starting at precisely 00:05:59 minutes shows a soldier making manic advances toward a local girl. It is implied that he intends to seduce or even rape her, but he departs after being slapped. The two men walk down the road and one says "Germany's looking like it's gonna be pretty good fraternizing territory, huh?"
Immediately and abruptly after that scene, at precisely 00:08:17 minutes, a different soldier is shown having noisy sex in the home of a local girl. Her bare breasts are shown from the side, then we see his buttocks when they flip positions. There is squeaking, thrusting, moaning, etc.; it lasts 14 seconds, then they're interrupted when the soldier's commanding officer enters the room, after which we see half of the bare soldier's buttocks for the remainder of the scene (another twenty seconds).
